On the occasion of Citrus Day, this event to promote the excellence of Jeju citrus began yesterday and runs until tomorrow.

It has a large citrus-filled tree and stone harbang, making it feel like you are in Jeju Island, the home of citrus fruits.

You can also taste sweet citrus and juicy juice made from 100% citrus.

There is also a tangerine melier event where you get citrus as a gift if you get the sugar level of citrus.

In addition, there are various things to enjoy, such as citrus picking games, coloring experiences, and key rings.

Then let's hear from the official of the tangerine day event.

[Baek Sung-ik / President of Jeju Tangerine Association: Jeju Island has held this event every year since December 1st, 2015 as Citrus Day. It can be seen as an event that contains farmers' willingness to provide high-quality citrus fruits to Korean consumers, with the number one fruit in winter, sugar content of more than 12 Briggs, and acidity of less than 1%.]

This event is being held in Seongsu-dong, which has a large floating population and is frequented by the MZ generation to expand the citrus consumer base.

Many people from the 2030 generation to family visitors and foreigners visit this place.

Visitors are having a happy time, taking pictures with Jeju citrus characters installed throughout the venue, and enjoying various products related to tangerines.

The cold winter has come.

You should be careful not to catch a cold.

It would be nice to have a healthy and happy winter with tangerines that will be responsible for winter vitamins.
